overs,

A thoroughly honest clerk can always
command a better salary than one Of
equivocal habits.
He who has traded out his neighbor's
good opinion is pretty sure TO die a poor
man, however high the price for which
he sold it.
When business is attended with mi.
nuteness Of detail, strict punctuality, il
runs evenly. without jar or friction, and
lnsurcs success.
II is statistical truth that No. single cause
leads 10 more disasters than the use Of
liquors. not necessarily through drunken
ness, but the enfeebling Of the Judgment.
In dress, be neat and u~nobtrusive. The
perfection Of dress Is 10 be 10 perfectly in
keeping with your occupation that the
attention of an observer Is not directed 10
ii at all.
Vainly shall a man hope Ia live and
thrive 10y buying and selling after his
nelghbors and customers have learned b,'
sad experience that his word is not reli.
able, that his representations Of the cost
or quality of his wares are not TO be
trusted.
Fuming and fretting in and around a
store, finding fault with clerks and en-.
ployrs, denotes a lack Of order and bust,
ness tact, and exposes the merchant &c
ridicule and unpleasant comments from
those from whom he should have respect
and confidence. New York Mail and

Only a Portion of His Family.

A short man conveying eleven children
stood at Broadway and Cortlandt street yes
terday afternoon. He wore a shiny Prince
Albert coat, a decalcomanie on his necktie
for a scarfpin, and there was look of settled
melancholy on his smooth shaven face.
The children ranged from about 10 years
down. The eldest carried sachel and the
rest had umbrellas or bundles suited to their
carrying capacity.
They were waiting for a Broadway car,
and the small man grouped his charges care
fully on the curb, uttering frequent admoni-
tons the while Thomas he said, reprov-
ingly to small boy, ''if you drop that bas-
ket with the eggs in it there'Il be trouble for
you, sir, tonight. Isabella, put down that
umbrella. You are poking everybody in thu
RIBS
Just then car came along, and the peril
GUS work of embarking the children began,
bringing two drays and cab to standstill
in Broadway.
Hurry up, old man." called the cabman,
'and hustle your picnic into the car"
You want ter keep them orfuns outer
Broadway" said drayman, 'or else dress
'em up alike with the name of the asylum ON
their collars
The short man did not reply. He hoisted
the smallest infant into the car, and as it
started he turned his mournfnl face to the
cabInan and said: This is not picnic, it is
a portion of my family. Perhaps, young
man." he added with deepening sadness,
''when you have had fourteen children life
will not seem to you to be all a merry Jest.

that telegraph managers pay as few of
